- FIG. 5 illustrates a concept of the scheduling between the carrier aggregation and the carrier in the wireless communication system according to another embodiment of the present invention.
- the wireless communication system 500 uses the carrier aggregation including three downlink component carriers 510 , 520 , and 530 , and two uplink component carriers 540 and 550 .
- the downlink PCC 510 may include first to third PDCCHs (not shown) including the CIF indicating each of the downlink PCC 510 and the downlink SCCs 520 and 530 , and fourth and fifth PDCCHs 514 and 515 including the CIF indicating the uplink PCC 540 and the uplink SCC 550 , in the control region of the downlink PCC 510 , which is identically illustrated in FIG. 2 .
- the fourth and fifth PDCCHs 514 and 515 including the CIF indicating the uplink PCC 540 and the uplink SCC 550 provide the user equipment with information for decoding first and second PUSCHs 519 a and 519 b included in the uplink component carrier indicated by the CIF and control information required for the communication at the same time.
- the fourth and fifth PDCCHs 514 and 515 may be the same as the PDCCH 400 described with reference to FIG. 4 , or may not be the same.
- the PDCCH including the fourth and fifth PDCCHs 514 and 515 will be considered the same as the PDCCH 400 shown in FIG. 400 , but the PDCCH of the present invention is not limited thereto.
- the linkage relation may be formed by an RRC signaling.
- the linkage relation may be notified to the user equipment by a predetermined rule or by implicitly using separate control information.
- the downlink PCC 510 and the uplink PCC 540 have the linkage relation therebetween, and the first downlink SCC 520 and the uplink SCC 550 have the linkage relation therebetween. It is possible to designate the component carrier, to which channel information should be reported, by using the linkage relation.
- FIG. 6 and FIG. 7 illustrate concepts of the channel information transmission method for transmitting channel information for one constructed downlink component carrier through the PUSCH of one uplink component carrier according to another embodiment of the present invention.
- the downlink component carrier which should be reported, may be configured by the downlink component carrier linked with the uplink grant.
- the uplink grant indicates the uplink PCC as shown in FIG. 6 .
- the downlink component carrier linked with the uplink PCC 620 indicated by the CIF value “0” is the downlink PCC 610 so that channel information of the downlink PCC 610 may be reported to the PUSCH of the uplink PCC 620 .
- the uplink component carrier in which the PUSCH is included, reported by the uplink grant including the CQI triggering bit 420 is determined, and channel information such as the CQI/PMI/RI of the downlink component carrier linked with the uplink component carrier may be reported through the PUSCH of the uplink component carrier.
- the CQI/PMI/RI for the downlink component carrier which does not have the linkage relation may be reported by using the control information of the downlink component carrier, such as the control information of the downlink PCC 610 , with the remaining code point of the CIF 410 or the combination of the remaining code point and the CQI triggering bit
- the downlink component carriers which are not linked with the uplinks, are indicated as described above, and the uplink component carrier, to which the PUSCH for the reporting is transmitted, is determined by the higher layer signaling or a determined rule (for example, uplink PCC 650 ) and then transmitted.
- the reserved code point and the used code point may be discriminated from each other based on the maximum number of carriers. Further, as described below, the reserved code point and the used code point may be semi-statically determined by an RRC configuration or the maximum number of carriers available for a specific user equipment, or may be determined by activation/deactivation through an MAC signaling.

- values 2 to 7 are allocated to the CIF in the uplink grant and the CQI triggering bit 420 is set, it means that the channel information reporting such as the CQI/PMI/RI reporting for the downlink component carriers 612 to 614 having no linkage relation with the uplink grant is requested.
- the downlink component carriers having values 2 to 7, which have no linkage relation may be indicated by the downlink component carriers to which the channel information such as the CQI/PMI/RI should be reported.
- the CIF values in the uplink grant and the CIF values identifying the downlink component carrier are the same is discussed, but another example where the CIF values in the uplink grant and the CIF values identifying the downlink component carrier are not the same is possible.
- the base station can inform the user equipment of the downlink component carrier, which has no linkage relation, indicated by the CIF values in the uplink grant through the downlink component carrier, to which the channel information such as the CQI/PMI/RI should be reported, through a higher layer signaling, a predetermined rule, or separate control information.
- code points 0 to 4 of the CIF are used to indicate the uplink component carriers 720 to 724 .
- the reserved code points have values of 5 to 7
